At Oxfam Australia, we believe all lives are equal and no-one should live in poverty. We are a member of Oxfam International, a global confederation working with partners and local communities in 87 countries.
Would you like to join this global movement of people working together to eliminate the inequalities that keep people in poverty?
We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and committed person to fill the role of Lead Solutions Architect.
As part of Technology Services team, you will use your skills, qualifications, lived experience and initiative to tackle inequality and flight poverty. Yes, you read that right, lived experience and initiative, because it is not all about key selection criteria.
Research shows that women will only apply for a job if they meet 100% of the selection criteria, while men will apply if they meet an average of 60%. We understand that life teaches us so much, so if you don't meet all the criteria but just know that you have what it takes, then please apply.
As the Lead Solutions Architect, you will provide whole-of-organisation technical, strategic and people leadership in the areas of software and web development, systems integration and solutions architecture. You will also play a crucial part in Oxfam’s digital innovation strategy by facilitating the use of existing and emerging technology to advance Oxfam’s aid and development work. The technology services team broadly supports Oxfam’s fundraising and revenue generation systems, enterprise and team-specific systems; and novel innovation initiatives to alleviate poverty.
As the Lead Solutions Architect, you have both technical excellence but also a high level of emotional intelligence, communication skills and collaboration skills. You will also be able to work successfully in agile teams and apply design thinking and lean start-up methodology.
